Yah I'm not a fan of the head either but that just made me feel that much better about the shaft.
Oh yeah dude.. That shaft was up to the challenge every single time! So awesome.

This is a lightweight shaft also but it's like a c kua on steroids. The C Kua was so weak for me but that's just not the case with this.
I hit the 4S a few times this morning, and this is almost exactly my thought. It was the first lightweight shaft that was sturdy enough to keep me from hitting moonballs.
I want the 4s, in a bad way. Loved the feel of it in the Razr Fit, but am pondering how it would be paired with my Black?
Swung the 7x and the 5x this morning. I favoured the 5x and took it to the course strapped to a 9.5 razr fit.
It was a fantastic feeling shaft. I wasn't entirely agreeing with the head, but there is no question that the B.Asha hung on wonderfully on every single swing. Only downfall was when I laid off on a couple shots which went left, but everything else was feeling bombed.
If you haven't hit this shaft, you probably should.
I think if you could have opened up the face of the Razr fit a degree it might have saved some of those left shots. But when you laid on it, you crushed it.
I was fortunate enough to take the 5x strapped to a Razr Fit out on course Saturday and Sunday this weekend. I've got some thoughts I'd like to share.
To begin, i want to point out that I hit both the 5x and the 7x on the range. While the 7x just powered through the golf ball, the added weight appeared to increase my trajectory as compared to the 5x. It seems like the consensus, but the 5x outperformed my expectations.
I currently play an open faced driver, so it took some time to get used to the Razr at standard (by choice) but once it was locked in, I felt extremely confident with it. So much so that I was able to hit a 290+ yard par 4 on the fly twice in two days with it.
In demoing other shafts Saturday morning, I felt a noticeable lag in them trying to catch up with my swing. Especially on impact, I felt a pretty heavy shudder on a number of them. Switching to the B.Asha was awesome. My miss was definitely left, but only on tired swings. If I took it to the ball, it loaded beautifully every single time and did not shudder once. Even on shots that went well outside on the club face generated a draw but did not caused the head to kick back like so many shafts I've hit before.
I love the idea of a shaft that actually wants you to step on your swing (and rewards you for it). My current gamer along with many I've tried demand some seriously good tempo to get the flight I need. With the B.Asha, the best shots I had were on full swings when i 'got after' the ball.
I will not that I still had some pretty serious height on many of my drives, but the ball seemed to climb immediately to its' desired height and then pierced through the air until it lost momentum. Maybe it's the difference between a 9.5 head and an 8.5 head for me, but I had no legitimate issues with the height.
The most notable experience (aside from the par 4 already mentioned) was on the final hole of the weekend. I hammered my first drive and decided to take an extra swing just because I knew my minutes with it were numbered. Remarkably, the ball landed within two feet of the first one. Very similar in flight with baby draws, I can't believe how much consistency can be generated from this shaft.
Also, it's beautiful...
More than what can be said for those pants..haha Glad you liked the shaft. It really is a beautiful looking shaft. How long before it finds its way into your bag?
Canadan,
Watching you & Jrod test this shaft out during this journey was a lot of fun. You guys both saw very similar things out of it.

If that's the case than I know for sure you were killing it Canadan because Jrod sure was in DM!!!
The numbers were great for me.. Sadly there wasn't much roll (the course didn't really play for roll anyways) and I only GPSed a few but I had a number of drives carry into the 290s which is big big big for me. My normal average carry is closer to 265-270.
I love the idea of being grouped with JRod but I hear he is big time. I want to see it for myself some time.
JRod is a blast to play with. One of the funnest times I have ever had on a golf course.
I daydream of the 5X, I really do!

Just took a look at the flex chart for it.
A: I LOVE the profile they've gone with here. Good, stiff butt with a extra stable mid and a slightly softer tip. Looks sort of like a HD6 in profile until you get to the final quarter. Should bring the launch up some more.
Total skimming but did it feel more like a one piece shaft, or were people picking up a deliberate load point?
B: The CPM's per flex rating are up there. 270 CPM's on a stiff is high if they're being measured the same way. It's is rolling well into a X in other brands. Definately going to need a fitting to sort out which flex is best for one.
